So our old foes from non league York City visit the Pirelli tomorrrow night.
I thought we'd be "welcoming back" an ex Brewer in Danny Blanchett who was possibly one of the worst players in Burton Albion history unlucky during his time here but it seems he hasn't been seen in a York shirt since August 25th. They've been undefeated since. Draw your own conclusions.
York have only lost three games away from home since the beginning of last season and are very good going forward. I reckon this will be a much tougher test than Oxford but then again Gresley under 5s would be a tougher test than Oxford.
Score draw for me.

Really looking forward to this game, think it will be end to end stuff!
Just seen a report that Taylor is probably out (limped off on Saturday), Kee has had the flu and not trained, but Paterson (ankle from Saturday) should be ok.
I feel that we have a strong defence, a battling midfield and strikers that know where the back of the net is. No changes to the starting 11 for me (bar Taylor).
2 - 0 Brewers Calv and Pato with the goals.

I disagree with your somewhat disrespectful view of the Oxford match, they were a very tough test, they put us under pressure for long periods. The 4 goals were wonderful finishes that the scorers won't repeat very often and we kept them at bay with magnificent defending. Danny Blanchett had a nightmare with us that will take him time to recover from, if ever. Based on our time in the football league I think Blanchett stands alongside many other poor signings by PP. Anyway, my prediction, 2-2. It would be a super human effort to keep a fourth successive clean sheet. We will see how fitness and recovery has improved under the GR training regime. |

Just trying to treat Oxford the same way they regularly treat us Frank. York will be a much tougher test.

Know what you mean Dave. They stayed in BSP for so long because, until they brought in Chris Wilder with his knowledge of the Conference, they failed to deal with the reality of their situation and fans, players and directors alike took a "we shouldn't be in this tinpot league" attitude.

I'd be happy with a draw.
1-1 Maghoma (equalling last season's total)

Not a clue what the score will be but I can tell everyone that IF we win, we'll leapfrog nine clubs and shoot up the table from 15th to 6th......how good would that be??

I won't predict as it seems to backfire on me! A point would be good against what seems like a York side on the up. If we get a 2000+ attendance we'll have done well (with it being champions league night).

It might help our attendance tonight that all 3 Champions League matches are exclusively on Sky Sports so only available to subscribers. |

My starting 11 for tonight: Tomlinson, O’Connor, Diamond, Holness, McCrory, Dyer, Weir, Bell, Maghoma, Paterson, Zola. Think it will be another poor crowd, but we can but hope  still going with 2 - 0 win |

still going with 2 - 0 win
